Ben & Flo Giveaway: 1 vintage golf bag to win.

In start-up mode in the garage, the couple starts off slowly and at their own pace. The goal is to produce quality. Their premise is simple. Renovate vintage sporting goods, and make them when products run out. With articles on golf and also rugby, basketball and even football, you get a quality item that rivals the biggest brands. Of course, everything is

The best golf writers in English

Golf is not just about the course. The experience continues with words. Whether in magazines (rare today), in books, on the web via blogs like this one or on X (formerly Twitter), enthusiasts of beautiful phrasing extend our golf journey with their words. Obviously, there are a plethora of Anglo-Saxon authors, and coming across their writings is quite simple. Some are translated and others not (surely an almost non-existent market opportunity). In any case, the following authors transported me t

Titleist VG3: the golf ball only available in Japan

Sitting in my hotel room in Himeji, Japan, I am watching Rick Shiels video on the Titleist VG3, a ball only available in Japan. That’s when I realize that I’m in Japan! From then on, I had only one idea in mind, I had to bring some back. Back in Europe with only 6 balls (yes the VG3 version is very popular there and hard to get), I launch my “classic” test to find out if the ball could please me in the long term. The same way I did for the Volvik Vivid, the Pinnacle Soft, or the RB566 from Mizu

5 things to know about the 2022 World Urban Golf Cup

Finally ! After a missed edition due to the pandemic, the WUGC (World Urban Golf Cup) is back in the spotlight. The entire urban golf community and other who play golf in different ways will meet in Luxembourg to try out the semi-rigid ball. A can’t-wait opportunity to meet again, but also for those who have not yet tried this “free” version of the sport, to discover an extraordinary atmosphere conveyed by a group of 11 nationalities. So, if you like to chill out in a good ambiance, where the p

Wilson profile: the distance ball with responsible packaging

The Wilson Profile is not a ball you are going to hear a lot about. If it is available, you will certainly come across it. Its price is advantageous, despite the shipping costs. But what you’ll end up saying to yourself is why Titleist, Callaway, Bridgestone, don’t pack their ball the same way? What is the Wilson Profile? With 79% 5-star reviews, this seems to be the best golf ball available on Amazon. And yet so hard to find. I had spotted it a while ago, but by the time I bought it, the ball

5 reasons why you should buy GX Gloves

GX gloves is one of those multiple brands you see while scrolling on Instagram with a big statement: the best product in town at the cheapest price. Is it true? Well, I dared to order, and received them a few days later. Is it good enough or should I rely to bigger brands? Should you go and buy them now? As a golfer, you must spend hours scrolling Instagram and following any account related to golf. And most of the time you see an ad on a golf-related product. Most of the time it’s a miracle so

Test and Review: TopGolf in Germany

TopGolf continues its expansion, and does not forget continental Europe. With a resort open much later than it should have due to COVID, TopGolf Oberhausen promises on paper. Is it accessible? Will it be as good as the one visited in the United States? It’s time to take stock and find out if it’s worth the 2 hour journey that separates us. As soon as I heard that TopGolf was going to open in Germany, I rushed to find out where exactly. Oberhausen, between Essen and Dusseldorf. Ideally located,

Banshutoyo Golf Club: A View at Every Shot

Located not far from Himeji in Japan, the Banshutoyo Golf Club offers a unique setting with high-end services. This 18-hole course spreads points of view at each shot. A real treat for the visitor, especially if he takes the caddy option for his group. For my first golf experience in Japan, I am haggard while observing the smallest details. Everything is different but the game remains the same. As soon as you enter the club house, a short walk to the locker rooms. In a large room, lockers are l

Keihan Golf Club: the links course along the river

Because a colleague’s father owns a golf course in Osaka, I find myself at the Keihan Golf Club, a links course along the Yodo River. A historic facility that allows local players to practice on a narrow, windy and flat 18-hole course; a topography rarely encountered in the land of the rising sun. Accompanied by a Japanese golfer friend, I was surprised when he told me that we had arrived! From the passenger seat, I can only see an industrial area with sheet-metal made buildings on either side

Back9: the perfect urban golf bag?

Stand or cart bag, we’ve seen a lot of golf bags. Sometimes more practical with dedicated pockets for your mobile phone, or a sleeve to put you alignment sticks. But shouldn’t the golf bag be re-invented? After all, shouldn’t a carry bag be standing vertically on your back? Side street golf created a buzz while ago. Their bag, the Back9 is a backpack golf bag. A simple idea that solves the burden of carrying a “traditional” golf bag across the city, by bike, or by train. Should you buy one? or s

Topgolf USA: I tested it !

In December, I was able to try out one of the Topgolf resorts in the United States. A gigantic structure, full service, a crazy atmosphere but also, as one can imagine, a real golfers factory. Review of this machine which is gradually conquering Europe and which is on the verge of ending up in Germany. By chance of the agenda for this end of the year, I land in Atlanta and I find myself a few hours from the Georgian capital, Birmingham, Alabama. This city located in the south of the United Stat

TIKEDEN: eco-designed golf clothing made in France

Tikeden, recently launched on the networks and a crowdfunding platform by Jean-Guillaume Le Biez, offers a range of polo shirts, socks and sweaters eco-designed and produced in France. A risky bet but one that echoes a generation that wants more. After the Wolfe polo shirts, and the Twirl golf polo shirts, whose founder you will recognize Thomas Barbe on the photos, this other initiative shows us that doing business in France is not short of breath. It just needs a little support. After several
